[PD] Stream phone call to pd?

[katja]

Sorry Sebastian, you did not read correctly. I had a bluetooth headset
included as a sound card in Aggregate Device, but not a phone. When I
connect a phone via bluetooth it can be used for data transfer but not
for audio.

Like Simon suggested, you could try connect a bluetooth headset's
output with cables to your computer sound card and have the user pair
with that bluetooth headset. Not sure if the phone's wired headset
would still function, it may be disabled when using bluetooth? Can't
check at the moment. I had a very cheap but functional BCK-08 from
dealextreme.com and a Jabra. Batteries of both are dead now after a
few years.

A mac application called Airfoil allowed me to connect to my android phone (using this app called AirBubble). What I need is to send either the conversation happening on the phone to my computer or at least send what the mic is picking up on the phone to the computer.

I'm working on an art installation which requires the interception of phone conversations to be sent to my macbook and manipulated in Pd. Willing participants would connect their phones (via bluetooth?) to my computer and all audio would be streamed to my laptop in real time and routed into Pd. I realize one could just connect their phones to their laptops via an 8th inch TRS cable and an audio interface... but the idea is to make this connection wirelessly.
